    For attaching fuel line to floor pan, I got my clips from Ron Morris Performance.

    I kink of like these:   http://www.bcbroncos.com/fuelefi.html

    scroll down the page until you see the clamps.

    I am considering running the nylon efi hose like Ford uses. I bought a tool to install the quick connect ends to the hose. When I receive it I'll try a few connections to see how well it works. I like the idea of quick connect like on factory setup to fuel filter and fuel rails, I am using the Tanks Inc efi tank, still trying to figure out how I'll connect to the pump. It comes with a 1/4 NPT female fitting so, I want to add a quick connect there as well.

    That's a good question, I was looking at MSD's Atomic EFI and they recommend that you run rubber fuel lines vs. steel so you don't run in to a "Water Hammer" effect with the PWM type fule pumps.

     Not sure yet, running the extra line now for the return line just in case.

     I have the Atomic EFI system on my car.  The only thing about it I do not like is the fact you have to run rubber fuel lines.  It really makes the underside of the car look really junky, unlike a nice neat set of steel lines.  The Atomic return line kit was $459.  All it inludes is a $150 regulator and some hose 300 PSI hose, which I doubt is necessary for a return line that has a big drainhole at the end and no way to hold pressure.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I used these: http://www.grainger.com/product/INTECH-T-Clips-Fastener-6ZF05?s_pp=false

    Here's a video from when I testfitted it, those black hoses in the engine bay will BTW have these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RUS-640903-Ford-EFI-6-AN-Male-Pressure-Side-Fuel-Rail-Fitting-Black-Russell-/330901403835?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item4d0b42b8bb&vxp=mtr on them to connect to the Ford EFI hard lines:

    Man I missed the fact that you had the MSD setup on your car! I've been going back and forth on the EZ-EFI 2.0, but decided against it because it doesn't support power adders. Then I saw where the Atomic EFI does. I also see that FAST has released the "Sportsman XFI" which is a cross between their full on XFI and EZ-EFI. Decisions, decisions. How do you like the Atomic EFI? Do you think it gives you enough tuning flexibility? I am just worried that it will be too "automatic" and I won't be able to fine tune.
